Ward Party

Can you guess who Meg went as???

If you need a hint... check out her pouffy sleeves!

Meg's Present

Meg had her party on friday night. She dressed up as the bride of Frankenstein. (Thanks Hannah for the costume idea) She didn't like her hair ratted... but everyone thought her costume was cool!

We kind of surprised her for her present. Her birthday was on Sunday... and they got back saturday night... but I told her that cause she didn't tell me what she wanted that she would have to wait for her present.

I had Russ wrap her present in with brayden's gun and so that it was she opened... then in the bullet case was her real present... a cell phone!

She was very excited... but disappointed that it won't have text messaging! Oh well you can't have EVERYTHING that you want!

New picture of Ben

I'm not sure what the outfit is all about... but I do think that he has bulked up a little bit!

Are you kidding me????

My sister Liz posted a school picture of her kindergartner yesterday... And can I just say... it was not the best photo that I have seen of her!!! I really do not like school pictures!!! They take normal looking children and....

TURN THEM INTO ZOMBIES!!!

Cant we do something about this injustice!?!

Sweet Sixteen!

Meg had her Sweet Sixteen (you'll have to ask her if she's ever been kissed!) on Sunday. Still haven't decided on a gift yet though! Hopefully by her party this weekend! Any suggestions???

Halloween Party 2010!

The Halloween party ended up being at my house this year ...(It was kinda sad that NONE of my kids were here though!)

Hannah was a spooky bride of Frankenstein!

Jeanette was a Rabbi!

Mag's was a cute little witch!

Sammy was a scary skeleton!

Tay and friend came as the yankees!

Ethan was a nerd!

Kenny was a cute tinkerbell!

Mon was the queen of the Nile!

Travis was a Mad Scientist!

Jess was a Witch... Wow look at those gams! (I guess that's what you call them!)

Seth & Chloe were our favorite Star Wars characters!

Des was the perfect little angel!

We made Mummies out of Mommies!

Played Halloween bingo, and lots of other fun stuff! Thanks Laura for planning it all!

And of course the night wouldn't be a Thomson get together without a little zit picking! The PICKERS will remain anonymous!

Can't wait till next year!

Latest Addition!

I have always wanted a witches broom so Tuesday I just did it! I love how rustic and worn it looks!

This is a shot of most of that corner of the porch.

Witches Brew!

Halloween is such a fun holiday to decorate for! The weather is still nice, there is so much to choose from, & lots of great ideas out there!

I have had this little fog machine for quite a few years now and it HAS to be my favorite Halloween item! It puts out so much artificial fog and boils like a real witches brew! Plus it only uses water! (pictures don't really do it justice!)

This summer I watched at garage sales for these great bottles to accompany my boiling cauldron. I just added the vinyl labels and twigs for stoppers!

Then I made this Witches Brew Checklist to go with the group! I love the Ladies Fingers!!! (Thanks Jeanette for that one!)
